Chapter 228 Electric Propulsion Engine

Since the birth of Meow Star Group, unicorns can be seen everywhere!

But no matter from that perspective, these companies have nothing to do with Meow Star Group. Even if they have some connection with subsidiaries, that kind of relationship is normal cooperative investment, and even has little to do with the core business of subsidiaries.

It seems completely different to outsiders. I am very moved when I see the unicorns suddenly appearing.

These vague technology companies sell various concepts all day long, desperately hyping up crazy money raising, stirring up a large amount of funds in the capital market.

Many investment institutions seem to be crazy about gaining and losing their minds, and will only rush to join in, for fear that these companies that are suspected of mastering black technology products will not charge them.

Even though Meow Star Group has repeatedly made public statements to shareholders around the world that these companies are peripheral companies that their subsidiaries are based on their own product needs and have nothing to do with the parent company.

They do not have any black technology, nor any profit prospects. There are even many unicorn companies that are heavily in debt due to excessive burning of money.

But they can still make money in the stock market and harvest lots of Filipino vegetables. For outsiders, as long as they see companies that have something to do with black technology, they will rush up like moths to a flame.

"It's so crazy!"

Li Maoye, who knew the insider information, shook his head when he saw it, and he really couldn't understand the investors' ideas.

The drone company built by Monkey Tank happened to catch up with this wave of market. After the newly opened drone company built up the racks, it immediately spent money to buy several drone-related companies. One of them is quite famous in China. Its founder is one of the top ten outstanding young people.

"Oh, I've seen the boss of this company!" Li Maoye immediately remembered that he had drunk wine with the other party at the Qiqing Banquet and had a few words.

"Why did you buy all their companies? I remember this boss looked quite confident. He probably wouldn't sell the company, but instead helped you work!"

While recalling, Li Maoye inquired about the drone company.

The monkey smiled, "As long as you spend enough money, there is nothing you can't buy!"

Tank honestly explained: "If we don't sell it to us, this drone company won't live long!"

It turns out that after the polyurethane molecular battery comes out, it has a very great impact on all aspects of society, and this impact has gradually expanded over time and the scope has continued to expand.

The most important thing about a drone is actually the battery durability. If polyurethane molecular batteries are not installed, they will not be able to compete with other similar products in any case.

This drone company may have good technical performance in other aspects. Unfortunately, it has not established a good relationship with Yumao Battery Factory and cannot obtain a stable battery supply channel, so it is very affected in market sales.

Drones that have lost their high-energy batteries cannot compete with other peers at all. The drone market has entered the Red Sea area in recent years, and it is common for companies to go bankrupt and liquidate.

"So that's how it is!" Li Maoye couldn't help but sigh.

However, he had no choice. Every technological update would cause damage to the original market structure. Even if he had already made the production of Yumao Battery Factory increase rapidly to meet the needs of various fields, such phenomena would still occur.

In fact, this drone company has already calculated that after selling it to Monkey Tank, the boss can hold a thigh!

Some companies have lost all their money in the early stage of battery research and development because of the listing of Miaoxing's black technology batteries, and even went bankrupt for many major manufacturers of traditional battery manufacturing.

Samsung SDI is a typical example of this!

Even companies that have nothing to do with batteries will lose a lot of money due to black technology batteries. For example, SoftBank Group has suffered such an unforgettable disaster.

Before the polyurethane molecular battery came out, SoftBank invested US$110 million to build a new gravity energy storage power station. The principle is very simple, which is to build a large cement tower to store electricity, and by moving a movable giant tower weighing a total of 35 tons to charge or discharge the power grid.

Then the black technology batteries of the Zhonghua Family came out, and the cement towers became waste!

The power storage power of cement towers not only has high energy loss, but also has a very high construction cost. In comparison, power storage stations built with polyurethane molecular batteries are as cheap as bargains, so an investment of more than 100 million US dollars is completely useless!

Faced with this situation, the boss of SoftBank Group almost squirted out a mouthful of old blood, and then could only swallow it silently without saying anything.

The impact of other black technology products of Miaoxing is similar. Many companies are forced to transform and change their core businesses, while more companies are forced to go bankrupt.

Of course, everything has its advantages and disadvantages!

If they can take the opportunity to take the free ride of Meow Star Technology, they may soar into the sky, but if they block the path of Meow Star Technology, they will only have the tragic end of bankruptcy and liquidation.

This drone company can still be acquired in packages, and the result is still pretty good!

After the monkey bought the company back, he planned to learn from other people's assets to go public. He first divested the core department and merged the technicians in it into the new company, leaving behind an empty shell and some drone components for design and manufacturing.

Then, according to the suggestions of capital institutions such as Wall Street, we invest a lot of money to package and dress up, constantly improving our performance, and want to make money on the Nasdaq listing.

"Can this happen?" Li Maoye expressed doubts, but he did not know much about capital-related matters and did not have much say.

"It should be OK? Anyway, that's what those turtle grandsons said!" The monkey was not very sure, so he could only take one step and then talk.

Li Maoye told the monkey not to worry first and wait until he gets something out before talking about it.

A few days later, when the monkey tank came to the laboratory on time to write the code, he was called to Li Maoye by Assistant Xie. As soon as he entered the door, he saw an aircraft model on the laboratory bench, with a flat and elliptical body, with the wings extending obliquely backwards on both sides of the body. There was a big hole on the butt at the back end, and there were two thick round tubes supporting it on the table.

The Monkey Tank immediately realized that this was not an aircraft model but a drone!

"Boss, do you finally want to take action?" Tank shouted immediately.

"Master, is this really a drone?"

The monkey found that the drone looked too strange, unlike those sold on the market, and there was no sign of half a paddle on it, and he didn't know how it was going to fly.

Li Maoye made a move: "Come here!"

The drone immediately activated and flew up from the table, making a slight hissing sound and flew in front of everyone to stay calm, and then stopped moving, as if he had used magic.

"How can you actually fly?"

"How did this be done? It's not that the anti-gravity engine was used!"

"It doesn't look like you're using a turbojet engine, it doesn't sound right, and the turbojets can't achieve such a stable hover effect!"

Monkey and Tank were constantly guessing until Li Maoye ordered the drone: "Turn around!"

The drone turned its head over and pointed its butt at the monkey and the tank, illuminating its engine nozzle.

Only then did the two clearly see that a faint blue flame was emitted around the hole behind the drone, and the round tubes as big as a hair dryer on both sides were also spraying blue flames, just like three small gas stoves were constantly burning.

"This, is this Hall thruster?" Tank asked uncertainly.

“What is a Hall thruster?”

The monkey has not figured out how the drone flew up yet, and even thought it was using a black technology engine, which made the drone fly up.

In fact, Hall thruster is not a black technology. It is a type of electric propulsion engine. It was invented by scientists very early. However, the Hall thruster manufactured by the Earth's current technology level is very small, and the smallest thruster can only "blow" a piece of paper.

It is a thruster that uses the combined action of electric and magnetic fields to convert electrical energy into kinetic energy of working fluids, which is much larger than other propulsion technologies at present. Therefore, many scientific institutions in countries are studying such thrusters and trying to use them on spacecraft and satellites.

Traditional electric propulsion systems mostly use argon, xenon and other gases as working fluids, so the cost is very high and the thrust is very low, making them not suitable for use in the atmosphere.

The Hall power propulsion engine manufactured by Li Maoye uses an inexhaustible amount of air. As long as the drone battery has energy, it can continue to work.

"That's not black technology?"

The monkey tank and the other two were stunned. They could already imagine how amazing this electric propulsion engine would be if it was used on a drone. If it could be used on a space shuttle, wouldn't it be able to fly directly out of the earth and run into space!

"Boss, you want to go to heaven!"

"Master, what other drones are we going to do! Just get on the spaceship!"

The two were so excited that they almost jumped up, but they were soon poured into a basin of cold water by Li Maoye. "It's OK in theory, but in fact it can't be done!"

"Why?"

"Because of various technical limitations, this is the maximum thrust that can be realized at present! It is okay to use drones, but if you want to put them on a larger aircraft, it will definitely not be possible!"

Li Maoye has no good idea about this. Even if he has a more powerful electric propulsion engine solution in his mind, he cannot create it in a blank space.

A stronger Hall power propulsion engine requires greater power output. If you want to push a spacecraft into space, the energy required is not something that batteries can provide, and even the energy power output of a nuclear power plant is required.

Maybe it may be in the future, but not now!

Even so, the Monkey Tank and the others were very happy. The black technology engine they got from Li Maoye can make the performance of the drone to a higher level.

So they happily went through the procedures and prepared to apply to get this technology and push it to the drone market first.

The application was rejected as a result, because there were too many sensitive technology and black technology components involved.

Then several military personnel came to the laboratory. They wanted to talk about the electric propulsion engine and see if they could get the bald boss to help.
